Uh, huh, it’s the snitch

Hundred times he’s been around this pitch
And, catching it’s gonna be a cinch
‘Cause he ‘aint no average Seeker
He ‘aint no average Seeker

Hundred times he’s been around this pitch
And, catching it’s gonna be a cinch
‘Cause he ‘aint no average Seeker

Potter’s looking for the snitch
‘Cause catching it is what’s he’s good at
Lee Jordan’s commentating
Getting everybody fired up
Chasers going for the attack
Twins got your back
Johnson gets the score
Everybody’s cheering
That’s right we got the goal
Ten points for Gryffindor

Hundred times he’s been around this pitch
And, catching it’s gonna be a cinch
‘Cause he ‘aint no average Seeker

So watch out students in the bleachers
Brooms zooming around
Bludgers hit by Beaters
Both houses want to win
But, only one of them can
Quaffles passed all around
Bludgers trying to knock you down
Better watch out, might knock you out
(That’s right) it’s up to the seeker
Hundred-fifty’s what we want

Hundred times he’s been around this pitch
And, catching it’s gonna be a cinch
‘Cause he ‘aint no average Seeker
He ‘aint no average Seeker

Hundred times he’s been around this pitch
